‘Batman: Animated Series’ promo done as a ‘Dark Knight Rises’ trailer

If you’re going to air a marathon of the best Batman cartoon ever, it only helps to promote it with the best Batman film franchise ever. Friday, the Hub will air a 10-episode block of “Batman: The Animated Series.” To drum up interest, the cable channel did a “Batman: Animated Series” promo like a trailer for “The Dark Knight Rises,” which oh yeah also bows Friday. Not only do you get Kevin Conroy’s velvety cadence as Batman/Bruce Wayne, but you can also actually understand what the heck Bane is saying, too. The “Batman: Animated Series” marathon rises Friday at 3 p.m. central.
